chii: I agree - taking your own photo would be wonderful you’ll need to give yourself some time though so you can find the ‘perfect’ shot. illustrating the idea is nice too - get the creative juices going!

chris: thanks for pointing it out! if you go into the advanced search in flickr you can select differnt copyright/creative commons options.

Watch out grabbing photos off flickr — they probably have a copyright associated with the image

and of course, instead of trying to find the perfect photo to illustrate ur idea, why not try actually making the photo instead! keep it a caricature of the idea, and it doesnt have to look good, as long as its entertaining and humorous. ms paint is a good candidate usually =D

hi glam,
unfortunately didn’t get the time/chance to take any photos to use in my presentation - maybe next time
lols, cryptic Carol *strangles*…For that paper clip slide i was talking about “filling in the gap in the literature and linking everything together”

and 10 slides only? now that is hard! I bet there would’ve been heaps of people cramming in whole essays into each slide.

Totally agree on info-less slides for presentation about our own findings and views. I don’t search and photgraph much so I also rely on animation to get my idea across in my Thesis A presentation, except I was limited to use 10 slides…

On the other hand, without being present at your talk…. what are the slides about? I am guessing the paper clips at the 3rd last slide mean reports? … you are more cryptic than Carol.. don’t like you anymore :p j/k

Did you shoot any of the photos yourself apart from looking at flickr and sxc?
